Thursday’s hike will be the section of the Trans-Canada Trail between Algom Nordic Mine Rd. and the west end of Westner Lake. This is a one-way hike. We will start at Nordic Mine Rd., hike west and end up back at the bank. The route is about 8 km and should take 3 to 3.5 hours. The first section follows the ridge with some nice views of the area. This is not a particularly difficult hike, but the trail is a bit overgrown in places and there are a couple of steep sections. Also the trail is quite rocky and the leaves can make the footing treacherous, so sturdy hiking shoes or boots are a must.
